Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Honey Garlic Chicken
  1. Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the chicken in a single layer and sear for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Mix together honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce in a bowl. Pour this mixture into the skillet once the chicken is seared.
  4. Combine cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add to the skillet, stirring well for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Toss the seared chicken in the glaze, simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. Serve over fluffy rice or quinoa, optionally in lettuce wraps, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
